A 350ft crop circle of an ancient Mayan symbol, said to be a sign of an impending apocalypse, has appeared next to Silbury Hill in Wiltshire.
The giant pattern - thought to represent a traditional Mayan head-dress - appeared next to the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe last week.
Members of the crop circle community believe the mystic symbol is a signal of the end of the 5,126-year Mayan 'Long Count' calendar on December 21, 2012.
Karen Alexander, a crop circle enthusiast, said: "This is one of the most interesting crop circles I have ever seen. It is definitely a Mayan symbol and we are sure it is linked to the Mayan calendar, which ends in 2012.
"It appears to be a warning about the world coming to an end when the calendar does. For the ancient Maya, reaching the end of a cycle was a momentous event, so we are taking this crop circle very seriously as an indicator of a possibly huge event in 2012."
Last month a 400-foot crop circle depicting a phoenix rising from the flames appeared in a barley field in Yatesbury near Devizes, Wiltshire.
Crop circle theorists believe the patterns are created by UFOs during nocturnal visits, or caused by natural phenomena such as unusual forms of lightning striking the earth.

nice workmanship. These guys doing this work don’t get any credit for their work.
i would be surprised if it was a real one. Modern artists don't usually like works of art.
There is a whole underground group of artists who do this, kind of like graffiti tagging..

I see. Yes, I would agree that this bunch is not as talented as some of the other people. Still, they do have a couple that turned out pretty well. I like the sand portrait they did, that’s rather impressive.
It’s probably a marketing ploy for the new 2012 movie...
I agree some crop circles are very detailed and also seem to have weird properties in some cases. I think a lot are fake, but there are a few every once in awhile that are interesting.
Still, I think this one is just an ad for the upcoming Mayan 2012 movie or somebody doing their own warning.
